◎It may be the first time that they are so intimate on the street, both of them are a little secretively stimulated, and the palms of the clasped hands feel wet after a while. ◎

The two sneaked into the Zhanchen Hall in a hurry, but they didn't expect to miss it.

Ruhua was standing on the porch with a plate of bird food and was feeding rice balls. The fat girl turned her head and saw the two of them, and happily led the two young masters into the house.

While pouring tea and serving snacks, she explained that the Second Highness has been busy with the palace examination for a few days, and it will take a while to come back.

Su Yunxiu nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip, wanting to greet Yi'er to taste the palace pastry, but turned to see him facing the window, as if in a daze.

Su Yunxiu looked in his direction, and saw the glutinous rice dumpling, who had not known when to fly to the window sill, and was combing its snow-white wings, making a slight rustling sound.

He put down the teacup knowingly, beckoned and said: "Enter the painting, bring the brush and ink."

"Brother Xiu?" Shen Quyi called subconsciously after hearing the voice.

"Taking advantage of the waiting time, let's write a letter and send it to Canglang Mountain." Su Yunxiu said while holding a piece of peach blossom cake to his lips, "It's been a few months since I went down the mountain, and I really miss my grandpa With Senior Mu and the others."

"Yeah." Shen Quyi was delighted that Brother Xiu had a tacit understanding with him again.Right now there is no one else in the room, and the sweet smell of pastries wafts into the nostrils. Fortunately, I took a bite with the hand in front of me: Uh~ the dim sum in the palace is too sweet, the imperial chef must have put a few catties of sugar!

Su Yunxiu stretched out her thumb to help him wipe off the pastry crumbs on the corner of his mouth, and gave him a doting smile. The atmosphere was just right at the moment, and he was about to...

Unfortunately, the moment he withdrew his hand, Ru Hua had already walked in with the Four Treasures of the Study.

After the two finished writing the letter, they watched Bai Mi Tuan fly away with the letter.

At this stall, Qi Jingluo came back with Yuan Fu holding various paperwork behind him.

His Highness the Second Highness had just entered the room when he looked up and saw two younger brothers standing in front of the window, chatting leisurely and admiring the scenery. Turning around, he saw a pile of booklets that Yuan Fu had piled on the desk.

He raised his left hand and tapped his sore right arm, and said melancholy: "Xiao Xiuer, you are at ease, Brother Huang has been dealing with several old foxes for the past few days, and he is exhausted!"

He sat down at the table and took the tea that Yuan Fu had poured, but after finishing the glass of water, the two younger ones did not answer the conversation.

Um?I haven't seen you for a few days, modified?

Qi Jingluo put down the teacup, and saw that he had left the window, and Su and Chen were sitting opposite him.

He had an expression on both sides/hesitant to speak, and he almost wrote the word "something" on his face.

"What's the matter, just tell me, is it not uncomfortable to hold back?" Qi Jingluo laughed.

Su Yunxiu cleared his throat, and told about Shi Lanxuan and the rescue of the three talented scholars, and finally deduced: "Brother Huang, Yi'er and I both think that the Xiao Party will play tricks in the palace exam in the near future, maybe It is a way to cheat the children of the aristocratic family by buying and selling test questions."

At first Qi Jingluo was still smiling, but gradually the smile faded, and his face became colder and colder.

When Su Yunxiu finished speaking, he said angrily, "How unreasonable is this? The imperial examination is related to the country, and the focus is on the country. How dare they do such a thing!"

While everyone was silent, the gloomy sky was filled with dark clouds. After lightning and thunder, the big raindrops crackled on the eaves and window lattices.

Yuan Fu half closed the wide-open windows, and glanced at the rain-beating plantains in the courtyard through the heavy rain curtain.

He suddenly turned around and said in a panic: "Your Highness, if this is the case, then we have been tricked. The imperial examination is coming soon. If they are not exposed, the court will become the Xiao Party's one-spoken hall in the future; but if they are exposed, it will be fulfilled with His Majesty's request." The results of completing the errands are contradictory... Now we are in a dilemma, what should we do?"

Before he finished speaking, he anxiously paced back and forth by the window.

Hearing the pattering rain outside the window, Shen Quyi said softly, "Director Yuan, please be safe and don't be impatient. Brother Xiu and I have come here with a preliminary countermeasure in mind, but the details still need to be discussed."

Now the anger in my heart calmed down a little, Qi Jingluo asked: "What is the countermeasure, Xiao Xiu'er dares to cheat with the emperor, so let's talk about it quickly."

When Su Yunxiu was called, he stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head and said, "The old emperor just wants the palace examination to be completed satisfactorily, then let's give him a successful conclusion, and the 36 measures will be counted."

"Oh, I'd like to hear more about it." Qi Jingluo tapped his finger on the table and said.

Shen Quyi at the side seamlessly connected tacitly: "Brother, we need to learn more about the assessment method, time and venue of the lower palace examination first."

Qi Jingluo nodded, and waved to Yuanfu, beckoning him to explain.

Yuan Fu raised his sleeves and wiped the thin sweat from his forehead, approached the table and bowed and said, "It's like this, my court exam is held every three years, this year it's scheduled to start on the sixth day of June, and it lasts for three days.

Writing was tested on the first day, poetry was tested on the second day, and policy theory was tested on the third day.Candidates lined up at the arches on both sides of the imperial city and entered the waiting room of the Hall of Excellence. The hall was divided into three examination areas.

In order to prevent cheating, the test questions before and after each test area are different. Candidates enter the test room on the first day, eat, drink and sleep in their own cubicles. They can't come out until the end of the test on the third day. "

"Well, it's very easy for those descendants of the aristocratic family who are involved with the Xiao party to know their seat numbers and corresponding test questions in advance, and then cheat by using the answers they have prepared long ago when queuing up to enter the venue, as long as they bribe the guards in advance. " Su Yunxiu rubbed his chin and thought, "Then brother Huang, will there be loopholes in the examination section later?"

Qi Jingluo shook his head resolutely and said: "This is absolutely impossible. After the exam is over, the candidate's name column on the test paper will be unified and sealed. Then it will be handed over to the academicians of the Imperial Academy for marking.

The person in charge of this area is Yan Yuhai, who is upright and upright. He belongs to the Qingliu school, and he does not deal with the chief minister Su Qingyu on weekdays. There is no need to worry about this. "

"Then we just need to ensure that those who cheat will not get satisfactory scores, so that candidates with real talents will naturally stand out." Shen Quyi concluded.

Both the master and the servant nodded their heads in agreement, the reason was this, but...before they asked a question.

Su Yunxiu immediately revealed the plan: "So, brother, you need to get a test seat number for the children of the aristocratic family before the test. We will sneak in at midnight on the first day and collect the cheat sheet with the answers. Then switch back and forth. The children of the aristocratic families will definitely just bury their heads in copying when they wake up the next day, and the questions are wrong in the end, wasting all their efforts."

"Wonderful! This method is good." Yuan Fu clenched his left hand and tapped his right palm, excitedly.

Qi Jingluo was obviously more thoughtful than him, and questioned: "Brother Huang knows that you are good at martial arts, Xiao Xiuer, but in the dead of night, some candidates will choose to answer questions all night, once they are discovered..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Yunxiu stretched his arms and put his arms around the shoulders of his junior brother and said, "Brother Huang, you forgot what Yi'er is best at."

Patting his arm away, Shen Quyi shifted his body to the other side and said, "Brother, don't worry, we have already figured out how to deal with this. Big brother is in charge of the supervision of this year's imperial examination, and cherishes his talent to provide candidates with a It’s just a silver thread candle that doesn’t smudge your eyes, and I’ll add some colorless and odorless tranquilizers to it.”

"Everyone has to light candles at night, so they will all be poured at midnight." Su Yunxiu stretched out his right arm and made a sweeping motion.

Knowing that this is the best way to implement it at present, but Qi Jingluo is kind-hearted, hesitantly asked again and again: "Is it harmless to the human body?"

"Brother, don't worry, this medicine only makes people fall into a deep sleep, and has no harm to the human body. It can also improve sleep and eliminate fatigue. When candidates wake up, they will feel refreshed and full of energy." Shen Quyi He gave a reassurance and promised.

Only then did Qi Jingluo relax with satisfaction.

The discussion about the strategy of the palace examination is almost done here, and I thank the emperor for his suggestion to keep them for lunch.

It was still raining outside, so Su and Chen left the palace together with an oil-paper umbrella.

Raindrops fell to the ground like bead curtains on the surface of the umbrella. Su Yunxiu was afraid that his junior brother would get wet, so he tilted the umbrella straight to the right.

How could Shen Quyi not know, in order not to let Brother Hugh get half of his shoulders wet, he tried to get as close as possible, and the two walked forward side by side.

"Three test areas, I will be responsible for one, and Xiao Sanshui can help with one. Unfortunately, there is still one person missing." Su Yunxiu suddenly thought of an omission in the plan.

"Brother Xiu, don't you remember this?" Shen Quyi unhurriedly took out a piece of gold leaf from his purse, waved it in front of him.

Su Yunxiu's eyes lit up, "Yes, there is also a thief swallow. Yi'er, you are too smart." After finishing speaking, he moved his head and smacked his junior brother hard on the face.

After the kiss, it was realized that the two of them were still on the street. Fortunately, it was raining non-stop, and the street was empty and there were no pedestrians.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the flushed cheeks of the people around him, and he didn't seem ashamed.

Wudi Su Yunxiu has some understanding, the younger brother is thin-skinned in front of others, can he be more unscrupulous when there is no one around?

Thinking of this, he tentatively said solemnly: "Yi'er, there are many puddles in rainy days, so I will lead you along?"

After a while, although the response he got was as thin as a mosquito, it still couldn't escape the ears of Su Yunxiu who was fully focused on him.

With permission, Su Yunxiu excitedly grabbed the other slightly cool hand beside him, and entangled his fingers with it.

It may be the first time that they have been so intimate on the street, both of them are a little secretively stimulated, and the palms of the clasped hands feel wet after a while.

But no one said to let go, just like that, they were held tightly until the door of Liushang Courtyard, and the two reluctantly let go.

At the same time as he entered the door, Su Yunxiu's hand holding the umbrella happily turned the handle of the umbrella. He had never liked rainy days before, it was wet, muddy and messy, but after walking in the rain this time, he felt that rainy days were actually a good......

A day later, in an unremarkable restaurant a hundred miles away.

In a secluded corner, a man was lazily peeling and eating peanuts. The man was leaning against the edge of the table, and one foot was still standing on a bench opposite.

Wearing black cloth, his facial features are slightly immature. The most striking thing is that he has a swallowtail-shaped birthmark at the end of his eyes.

Yan Xiaoqi peeled the last peanut, threw it up, and swallowed it.He walked to the counter and leaned back, patted the red peanut skin on his body and whispered to the shopkeeper: "Old Qi, are you here to live?"

It turns out that this place is a dark spot for doing business under the thief's family. The shopkeeper, Lao Qi, put down the abacus in his hand, took a roster from the shelf behind him, flipped through it and said: "These few are not in a hurry, today there is a roster." Spend a lot of money to rush to hire you."

"Oh? How much is the heavy money? How much did you pay for the deposit?" Yan Xiaoqi immediately stretched her neck and asked in confusion.

Lao Qi pushed a piece of gold leaf in front of him, "Here, this is the deposit. The employer said that if you take it, you have to go to a house in the east city of Fanzhao within a day. What is it called... oh... it's called Liushang Courtyard. "

Picking up the gold leaf in disbelief, Yan Xiaoqi's eyes widened.

The young master has debuted for so long, and he has never received such a small deposit!This is a serious insult to his professionalism!

Just about to throw it thousands of miles away, let this stingy employer go to hell... The moment he raised his hand, he stopped, wait, why does this gold leaf look familiar?

"Old Qi, didn't the employer say anything else?" Yan Xiaoqi asked cautiously.

"Others... oh, yes, I also said some weird things, saying that I hired you with gold leaves in person before, and I will come to patronize you again this time. And if you don't go, he will pluck your hair again What." Lao Qi recalled, "But Xiao Qi, don't you never meet your employer directly?"

Yan Xiaoqi remembered it, it was the first time he missed, and he was robbed of all his money......

He threw this humiliating memory into a corner long ago to seal it up, and now that he remembered it again, his heart still hurts!

But no matter how blood dripped from his heart, he still smiled and said haha ​​on his face: "It's a friend, there must be something urgent, so I'll go."

Lao Qi picked up the abacus again and was crackling, he nodded casually to say go, so he didn't notice Yan Xiaoqi's heavy and difficult steps when he stepped out of the threshold...

The author says:

Yan Xiaoqi, who was on the way, regretted for the 120th time that she was a sex obsessive (strike out: money obsessed) mind, accepted the employment of Hua Damei, and provoked these two evil stars!

It's not enough to squeeze the wool once, and you have to squeeze it a second time, it's simply not human!I really want to cry against the wind, but fortunately he learned to be smart this time and hid all his money in an absolutely safe place.Hmph, when it's over, if you want money, you need to die.
